but I don't think Ann Romney makes her own Welsh cakes (no, that's not code):
Wednesday morning in New York: outside it is drab and drizzly. Inside the Good Morning America studios at ABC it is brighter than ever-–Ann Romney is here! And not just for a quick interview, but to host the show! Well not the whole show, we are told at 7am – but she would be "coming in in our second hour!"
...
"After raising five boys, I'm ready for anything!" cried an enthusiastic Romney, catching a football and wearing a hot pink jacket as the camera announced her presence at 8am. But the best thing about live television is you can't always follow a script.
"They're burning," she muttered through clenched teeth to an unseen minion, seconds later, not realizing she was on camera. "You can turn the griddle down."
I'm sure that's what she does at home, too. Sweeps into the kitchen to survey the help, points out that the Welsh cakes are burning, and sweeps out again.
"I hold the spatula like this, right?"
--WT
Wow, she gives the appearance of natural ease and comfort that you usually only get from a cat in a swimming pool.

Thought bubble: "Hurry the fuck and take the goddamn motherfucking photo so Consuelo can get back to her duties!"

zomg - this is actually in the paper:
"They're burning," she muttered through clenched teeth to an unseen minion, seconds later, not realizing she was on camera. "You can turn the griddle down."
I was figuring you added that for the laugh.
Lordy! I try not to be too hard (publicly) on First Ladies because they have to take the job - but please, protect us from this nasty.

She makes Barbara Bush seem all warm and cuddly.

I've been cooking for over 60 yrs, and no, that's not the way to handle a spatula. : ) Oh, that was a rhetorical question?
Nice advertisement for her know-nothing husband, though. Free publicity. He's going to need it.

My problem with the caption: No way in hell she knows that's a spatula. "Flat thingie" would be more realistic.

Why didn't she make AMERICAN cakes? Why does she hate America?

Does Michelle Obama get to host a segment? Or is that only for Kolob candidates?
